RPGWW

So I'm thinking about redoing the RPGWW website.

Which means I could totally redo the colors.

Which means the board could get a matching make-over, if'n y'all wanted.

Whatcha think? <p>

You know, FD, that's exactly what I said when Dia first suggested it in chat. "Oh, she just misses the color scheme we had on April Fool's Day."

Oh, and here's my suggestion as I made it in chat: we could have all the different forum subsets in a different color scheme - RP forums one color, Spam and Discussion another, etc. <p>__-__-__-__-__-__

Ow. No. Keep it all one color.

I don't mind the black and red color scheme, though. <p>-----

Black and red = no.

Uniformity = yes.

Spleen has yet to expand on what he meant by "subtle differences" between the subforums.

And why the heck was this post moved to the spam forum in the first place?


[edit] Black and red = no in the April Fool's/DP sense. I mean, if someone can show how it can look good... <p>

I vote against black and red and move for delicate shades of pink and blue.

I vote that this is a serious discussion, hence why it's in the discussion forum. :( <p>

Okay. My opinion? ezBoard should implement CSS. That way, everything will be easier to change around. But it doesn't, because they're backwards troglodytes. <p>-----

PINK! ........Perhaps something more blue? Or cream with nifty other McColoringtons. <p><div style="text-align:center">

I rule the fanart forum with a fist of irony. .....I have nothing else witty to say. Or quote. I'm a sad person.</div></p>

We can use CSS. Due to being Gold and all. We do, to a very limited degree. I was planning to exploit it a great deal more on both the board and website if the colors were going to be changed around.

Also, the corn bullets were done with CSS.


I don't mind pink, so long as it's not pastel. I'm not sure if our board hasn't seen enough blues to last a while. <p>

That's why I said delicate shades of pink and blue.

I think we should keep the blue. I, for one, have come to associate the board with shades of blue, and psychologists have found that blue (and in particular Robin's Egg Blue) has a very calming and uplifting effect on a person's mood.

Ah, so that's why we get posts about hugging kittens all the time!

Also, colored text on a black background has been shown to produce less eyestrain than black text on a non-black background on a monitor. <p>-----

Are you sure? Cause all those websites with black backgrounds and bright letters really cause my eyes to sting after a while.

In other news: "Using Blue: A deep royal blue or azure conveys richness and perhaps even a touch of superiority. Navy blue is almost black and is a bit warmer than lighter blues. Combine a light and dark blue to convey trust and truthfulness — banker's colors. Although blue is a year-round color, pastel blues, especially along with pinks and pale yellows suggest Springtime while deep blue is a colder weather color. Create a conservative but sophisticated look with subtle contrast by combining light and dark shades of blue."

From http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/colorsel ... p/blue.htm <p>

I personally like the blues in this forum.

I have to agree somewhat with Gus on the light letters/dark backgrounds thing. And I also like the current color scheme, though I'll probably like whatever ends up getting chosen anyway. :D <p>

</p>

I like the blue, but I'm also curious about this CSS thing or whatever. Cuz I've never seen it that I'm aware of.

... Anything on black would remind me of Physis. Which is bad. <p><div style="text-align:center"></div></p>

I prefer more black or darker blue, perhaps. Anything but white, to be honest. Since white BURNS MY EYES. ;_; But since red is kind of harsh looking on Black...

Leave it the way it is. <p>

</p>

I like the current colors, myself. Don't have any ideas to improve upon them, I'm afraid. What do you have in mind, our Dia? <p>---------------------------

Your are not supposed to be reading this!</p>

I'm fine with it as it is, really.

Then again, I'm not one to ask on matters of appearance. :( <p>-------

"I'm here to burn the lollipops."</p>

^^; Red and black makes me hot. If I'm not swamped with homework and... *cough*... commitments... in the near future, I'll think up a possible red and black design.

Dark back and light texts are hawt too, though. Very hawt. =D <p>Go to http://www.gamingbliss.net! Pants for all![/b]</p>

Never speak ever again. <p>

<div style="text-align:center">What's wrong with this ring?!</div></p>

I like the current colors aswell.

But if you'd like suggestions?
EXAMPLES:


The line through the colors mean the actual readable font color.

And good lord, not black and red.
It started killing my eyes after a while. <p><div style="text-align:center">

*speaks*

Hey, red and black can be nice, when used stylistically... not that thrown together abomination from April Fools.

=P

Edit: Or stylishly. Whichever is actually right. <p>Go to http://www.gamingbliss.net! Pants for all![/b]</p>Edited by: [url=http://p068.ezboard.com/brpgww60462.showUserPublicProfile?gid=kiduf>kiduf</A] at: 4/14/05 21:16

No, they can't.

Also, those green tones are spiffy! <p>

Greens the color of inspiration. I like those. <p>

What I hade in mind were some greens or purples along the lines of what DM put up. I'm really tired of blue. :( <p>

Green > purple, for forum purposes. <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television.

Yeah, I figured people would be more receptive to green. :0 <p>

Green is keen.

I like green too... <p>--------------------

Maybe some new buttons aswell?
The current ones are keen, but wouldn't go with green (if it was changed to it) <p><div style="text-align:center">

Perhaps amabob!

Mebbe even new banners. ::00 <p>
